Eagles Nest - a beautifully furnished, 3 bedroom house with pool and sea views.
A beautiful, modern and comfortable 3 bedroom house with pool on a plateau overlooking an inspiring hillside setting, with incredible views. Spacious rooms and terraces from which to enjoy the landscape and extraordinary views towards the coast, spanning the terraced orange groves, ravines and valleys. With all modern conveniences, a pool and terraces on many levels, Eagles Nest is a dream retreat, ideal for people who enjoy entertaining and making the most of relaxing at home!
Terracotta tiled and cobble stoned terraces surround the pool and house and lead into the living room, kitchen, master bedroom and one of the ground floor twin bedrooms. Beyond the main terrace are various other levels nestled into the hill side, offering sun, shade and mature Mediterranean gardens with citrus, grape vines, and bougainvillea galore…
Newly refurbished, the interior of Eagles Nest is elegant, practical and contemporary…more than perfectly suitable for families on holiday or anyone wishing for a retreat away. The entrance into the ample kitchen is from the terrace, there is seating for 6 people in the kitchen and further seating for 8 people at the dining table in the living room. The two twin bedrooms are reached from the living room with a bathroom in between. The master en-suite bedroom and study are reached from the stairs in the kitchen and have access to a covered terrace, which also leads into the garden.
Eagles Nest offers an 8 x 4 m pool with Roman steps leading into a shallow end of 1m and a deep end of 2m. Freshwater pool with Salt cleaning system. The pool is serviced weekly during the year by a competent and reliable professional. Pool and garden lighting is available.
Quality sun loungers deck the terrace around the pool and there is a shaded dining area besides the barbeque near the poolside.
This accommodation is perfect for families on holiday with any age children, though there are quite a few steps in the garden! There is a cot and high chair provided. Please let us know if you have any other requirements.
Eagles Nest offers a Play Station 4, Netflix and Cable TV (meo) and Apple TV, not many rental accommodations offer such varied entertainment features for children!
The immediate garden area and ground floor of the house would be suitable for elderly.
In this hilltop hamlet, Eagles Nest is the first house with 4 other villas behind and below, within 50 – 100 metres, the property is not overlooked.
The access to Eagles Nest is by 3km of uphill and downhill tracks within an area of hillside terraced orange groves. The rest of the way is tarmac roads. This is a very quiet and peaceful location amidst nature and wildlife. Amenities can be reached in 10km (Tavira) or about 15 minutes drive. Many beautiful beaches can be reached within 15 – 20 minutes drive, closer by is the Pego do Inferno (Hells Pool) waterfall, just 3 – 4 km away on the tracks or in winter and spring there is a river in the valley to visit! There are excellent golf courses within 20 to 30 minutes drive from the accommodation. The closest are Benamor, Quinta da Ria and Quinta da Cima, Monte Rei.

Eagles Nest is a peaceful and relaxing villa in the hills overlong the Asecca Valley, and offers beautiful views. The villa is really well equipped, and was of a very high standard. Access road is a bit bumpy but well worth it. We had a very peaceful and relaxing holiday and would definitely recommend.
From our side there is nothing to complain about - was exactly what we were looking for - nice accommodation, beautiful, quiet location, uncomplicated hosts.
We have enjoyed it very much

Fantastic property with stunning views. The property was really well kitted out with everything we needed - we loved the pool and all the places to eat/relax throughout the property. You do need to be aware of the dirt track to get to the property - but it's absolutely worth it. We loved all the little towns/villages on the coast and hope to come back soon..
We had a wonderfully relaxing holiday at this well-equipped and beautiful villa. The accommodations were stylish and comfortable. We felt as if we were guests in a friend’s home. The panoramic views from the front of the villa are spectacular at all times of the day, and the sunset is not to be missed!

Absolutely perfect spot to get away from literally it all!
Perfect villa with the perfect views, if you are after space and to rest your eyes on the horizon then this is it. Decent drive into Tavira but what an amazing journey! Orange and Lemon groves and rivers to name but some features 🙂. Very well appointed villa and would choose again

We spent 10 nights at Eagle Nest. The house is lovely and as pictured. The view is amazing. Though it is a gravel road to get there, you go through orange groves up to the house. Good internet. The kitchen was well supplied for cooking. More comfortable outside furniture would be nice to enjoy the views.

We stayed here for 11 nights in October and would not return. We had been in Portugal for 2 months but this was the worst place we stayed by some distance. I will list the things I wish I'd known before going below, but in summary there are many better places to stay in this area that are both cheaper and more impressive.
1. Bad design. The villa is a renovated old property but the new layout is awkward: it is very dark inside most of the villa, there is nowhere comfortable to sit, the nice views are not visible from 90% of the property and there is no view from the pool area. There is no decent seating on any of the terraces.
2. The beds and pillows are poor quality and very uncomfortable.
3. Poor maintenance. The pool was not filtering properly when we arrived and was therefore very dirty - though this was rectified on the 6th day of our stay, it still needs a proper clean. The outside shower was blocked and not useable. The outdoor seating was dirty. There whole villa was crawling with ants and a few slugs. The drains are very smelly. Appreciate the villa is not connected to the main water supply so some smell is to be expected but the drains smelled to the extent that one bathroom was not useable.
4. Lack of hot water. Water is heated with solar energy which is great in some ways but for more than 50% of the time there we had no hot water.
5. Lack of insect nets on windows. Given the amount of insects in this location (seems to be a wasps nest near the pool), this is a problem as you can’t leave the windows and doors open.
6. Neither the owner of the property nor the lady who rents it out – who didn’t bother to meet us the whole time we were there - are Portuguese or even from the area, so there is a real lack of useful local knowledge beyond what a 30 second Google search will tell you.
7. The pictures and description are misleading. The pictures give the impression you can enjoy the view more than you actually can (eg. the angle of photo from the pool) and make the pool look much larger than it is. Also, we came with a small baby and I seriously question the description that this property is suitable for families of all ages, especially given the lack of insect nets.

Dear Simon and family,
We are sorry you did not enjoy your experience at Eagles Nest.
The villa is exactly as pictured with comfortable designer sofas and armchairs.
The master terrace has modern rocking chairs from which to enjoy the view, which runs all the way around the house.
All the beds and bedding are new and of high quality.
The pool maintenance staff attended before your arrival, on the day of your arrival, and when you requested a few days later.
Normally pools are maintained weekly.
Eagles Nest is very much in the countryside, however the house was clean and there are no ants or insects inside.
Thank you for the feedback regarding the mosquito nets. We will recommend to the owner that he install more nets.
You were met by a member of our small team, who welcomed you and showed you around the property.
He spent quite some time showing you how the amenities worked and particularly reassuring you about holidaying with a 2 month old baby.
He explained that we were on hand at any time to help with any questions or local information that may not have been listed in our comprehensive villa book.
You took us up on this offer when informing us late at night that you had car issues.
We helped in whatever way we could with contact information.
All solar water heating systems have integrated back up electrical boilers. Sorry that you did not inform us that your water was not hot enough, an issue that is easily resolved. During the cloudier winter months it is necessary to use the back up electrics.
This property has been enjoyed by many families with children and owned by a family with small children.
We do hope that on your next visit to the Algarve we can find you a property that is more suited to your needs.
Kind regards

Das Haus hat uns sehr gut gefallen, ruhig gelegen, traumhafter Blick über die Berge. Anfahrtsweg etwas „abenteuerlich“ (SUV empfohlen) aber lohnt sich .
Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Urlaub im Eagles Nest, das Haus ist wirklich sehr geräumig , aber man merkt, dass es bereits etwas in die Jahre gekommen ist. Die Inneneinrichtung ist schön und hochwertig. Leider hatten wir einen Stromausfall, die Waschmaschine hat die Küche unter Wasser gesetzt , da ein Schlauch verstopft war und abends war der Wassertank leer aufgrund eines Defektes, sodass wir 5 Personen weder Dusche noch Toilette für ein paar Stunden benutzen konnten. Alle Probleme wurden aber schnellstmöglich behoben und man konnte alles gut miteinander besprechen. Jonny war ein hervorragender Ansprechpartner. Die Aussicht war wunderschön und auch der Pool war perfekt.
Ruim en smaakvol ingericht huis, van alle gemakken voorzien en gelegen op een prachtige locatie: stil en geweldig uitzicht en vlakbij leuke plaatsje Tavira
Nous avons passés une semaine magnifique. Endroit parfait calme et paisible. Chemin d'accès un peu difficile mais vaut vraiment la peine. Location à recommander. Merci

Bonjour Didier,
Merci beaucoup pour votre avis sur Eagles Nest. Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié votre séjour. Comme vous le dites, la piste de 2 km vaut le détour. Il n'est pas nécessaire d'avoir un 4x4. Comme vous l'avez constaté, toutes les voitures de tourisme normales peuvent emprunter cette piste sans difficulté. Nous espérons vous accueillir à nouveau prochainement à Eagles Nest ou dans l'un des autres établissements gérés par Jacaranda.
Cordialement,
L'équipe Jacaranda
Wir genossen den Aufenthat sehr. Grosszügiges Haus, viele Möglichkeiten zum draussen und drinnen Sitzen. Dazu absolute Ruhe und eine fantastische Aussicht umgeben von Orangenbäumen und Bougainvilla.

Super, Klasse einfach perfekt wenn man einmal seine Familie alleine haben möchte. Super Haus Pool und Umgebung. Ausgangspunkt für viele kleine Ausflüge. Weg zum Haus ist romantisch, vorbei an Zitronbäumen, Apfelsinenbäumen. Langsam und vorsichtig fahren,aber man wird belohnt. Beschreibung entspricht der Wahrheit, nein besser als....

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt an diesem Ort. Der Ausblick von den Terrassen ist atemberaubend. Wer es mag an einem sehr ruhigen, abgelegenen Ort Ferien zu machen kommt hier voll auf seine Kosten. Die Zufahrt zum Haus ist abenteuerlich aber man gewöhnt sich daran. Wir werden auf jeden Fall wieder kommen.
Uma semana neste maravilhoso local. Grande vista, sossego e espaço para todos.
Apenas dois reparos :
A suite maior tem ar condicionado mas os outros dois quartos não.
Um incidente com o abastecimento da água que penso que tecnicamente foi bem resolvido pela empresa gestora.
De resto tudo perfeito
